Music critic Richie Unterberger wrote in his AllMusic review "It's got the competent verve you'd expect from Darin's mid-'60s pop'n'swing vocals, though not so exceptional that you'd recommend it as the cream of the crop. The highlight, if only because it doesn't sound like more of the same, is the dramatic, somber ballad "The End of Never," with its unexpected melodic arches and Darin's committed singing." [4]

Billboard gave the album a postive reviews, saying "he delivers a sensitive first-rate rendition of "Days of Wine and Roses" [6]

Record Mirror described the album as "his best album" noted it features "mostly good songs with "Look at Me", [and] "Once in a Lifetime" [5]

Michael Seth Starr called it "a Big Band, brassy, show-tuney album" [1]
